In an earlier thread I claimed that some of the modern turntables that I have heard, were better than vintage.
That statement was attacked pretty quickly, and I certainly can understand why. People are passionate about their opinions, and defend what they like. Which is totally cool.
But what vintage tables can actually compete with some of the 6 figure tables out there?
I have heard the Clearaudio Statement to be specific. Hooked up to a set of speakers that cost more than my house. Running through amps, that cost more than my house.
Based off of my knowledge of acoustic memory and my personal ability to pick up nuanced sound, I could NEVER justify anything remotely close to those costs. But that's not the topic of discussion here.
With that said, what vintage turntables could hold a candle to this ridiculous high end stuff. The Goldmund's Reference, The Clear Audio Statement, or other similarly priced "Luxury" models? The person in that post claimed that he had heard vintage tech that could "beat" the best modern?
Again this is subjective, but what vintage stuff is there that competes? I am simply curious, because I didn't realize anything like that existed, and B. I want to read up on it. Cheers.
